I need to update my signature as I don’t have those mandolins anymore. The Big Mon didn’t stick around long enough for me to get an honest feel for it but I was immediately impressed with the finish...
Thanks a lot!
This one is called “Pellinore’s Ride” and it’s got a lot of energy and drive to it. Marlin’s writing is crafted so well for fiddle accompaniment and I’m finding this Mowry is well suited to handle it...
Thanks again man, so glad this worked out!
Yeah that's me. I thought I was going to have to let it go due to some financial/personal reasons but I decided it was too good to not keep so it's going to stay with me. I thought I had pulled that...
I picked up Mowry #122 from a cafe member a couple weeks ago and I’ve really fallen for it. The low end was good as soon as I received it and the trebles have come a long way as well, probably due to...
I checked several pages of related threads using the search function before posting this question- Is there any way to make a Tone Gard fit the Northfield Big Mon? The body is slightly wider than a...
Thanks for your input, I am pretty familiar with Charlie's work and almost bought one of his Ferns before I found my Harvey era one. I thought I had a pretty good understanding of the different eras...
Are Derrington signed mandolins really going for a premium right now? I'm trying to gauge how to price my 2017 Fern as I'm considering selling it and it's hard to find consistent pricing on...
Sorry if the link was bad I thought I had it figured out!
4 part songs are an endurance test for me, especially this one. I feel like I’ve been working on it for years and just finally able to get through the whole thing without falling apart. Hope you like...
Thanks Mark glad you enjoyed it! It really is such a great melody to play around with.
Here’s a tune I’d been meaning to learn for a while and was happy to get some time to work on it yesterday. Strings are old and shot but the Fern still sounds great to me!

It looks like it's a pretty even 1/16" past the binding edge
I noticed these small seam lines today on my Fern, they're only visible on the tail end of the mandolin and only in the areas I've circled. Hoping this is somewhat normal with the changing of the...

Thanks, I didn't include the time stamp because I think the break is way better within the context of the whole song. Alison Krauss' solo isn't too bad either!
This is one of my favorite Grisman solos. Every note lands perfectly and his timing is just incredible. I guess that's what makes these guys pros!

Case bite strikes again. One of the best features of my NF case is the way the lid holds itself up
I bought a Northfield Airloom case for my Fern recently. It is a very nice case but I doubt how well it would hold up to a crushing incident, it also scuffs very easily. I'll probably keep it around...
Big fan of Kenny Baker's version, but it's Micheal Cleveland's duet version with Nathan Livers that really blows me away every single time
My home!
Grabbed this today while the baby was sleeping upstairs. Recorded straight into my MacBook using quicktime which leaves a lot lacking sound wise. What setup are you guys using to record sound and...
I know what you’re describing and it’s very similar to my own chop, I fret the chord and apply pressure right on the 1 and strum/release pressure right on the 2. It was very natural for me to do this...
